Description
A 40ft high cube refrigerated container built in 2012 and running Carrier Primeline machinery. The specification worth reading twice is the condition: the refrigeration is operational, but the heater does not function, and the unit is sold as-is on that basis with the price set accordingly. For most cold storage duty that is irrelevant, because the heater exists to hold a set point above ambient in freezing weather rather than to make the box cold. For anyone holding produce that must not freeze in a hard winter, it matters a great deal. Decide which of those you are before you order.

What the Primeline pack gives you
Carrier’s Primeline generation is a widely deployed container refrigeration unit, which is exactly the quality most buyers should be weighing. A common machine means parts move through normal commercial refrigeration channels, most engineers have seen the controller before, and you are not dependent on one specialist to keep it running. On a 2012 unit that support position matters more than the badge, because the economics of a used reefer are decided by what a service call costs and how long a part takes to arrive.
Reading an as-is listing honestly
As-is means the unit transfers in its current state, with the known fault disclosed and without refurbishment. Photographs on this listing are for reference: the unit you receive will match the description and condition set out here, but may differ cosmetically from the images. If exact appearance matters for a customer-facing installation, tell us and we will confirm the specific unit before you commit. Because the sale is as-is, no warranty term attaches to it.
Suited to
Commercial, industrial and agricultural cold storage. Produce, seafood and packhouse buffering. Distributors needing additional chilled capacity at a lower entry price than a late-model machine. Anywhere the duty is straightforward cooling and the heater circuit is genuinely surplus to requirements.
Delivery and your rights
Delivery is free across the UK mainland and to Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey, and the price shown on this page is the total payable — there is no separate freight charge to add and no VAT is added at checkout. A 40ft high cube needs a straight approach for an articulated tilt-bed, room to reverse, and level load-bearing ground where it lands; check the 2.90 metre profile against gateways and overhead cables on the route in. Where the position requires a crane or HIAB offload instead, that is agreed in writing before delivery. Have the three-phase supply commissioned before the delivery date so the machine can be run up on arrival. As an as-is sale no warranty term applies, but your statutory rights are untouched and remain two separate things: 14 days to change your mind under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, and 30 days to reject the goods if they are faulty under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Comparable machines
Buyers looking at stock of a similar year and specification usually set this against the used Carrier ThinLINE 40ft working reefer, or against the Maersk RAHC-031 40ft cold storage reefer. Where the machinery is beside the point and insulation is all that counts, a non-working 40ft HC reefer costs considerably less. All cold storage stock is listed under reefer containers, and our shipping policy sets out lead times by region.
